Welcome to Survey of Art Education for Summer 2012! This course will focus on the history, best contemporary practices, and future of art education. This course will explore a variety of topics that have informed the current field of art education. Be prepared to look into significant people, theories, pedagogy, legislation, events, and inventions to better understand art education today. The class is structured in three parts: 1) history and legislation, 2) pedagogy and practices, and 3) leadership and advocacy. You can think of this as a past, present and future framework that will inform your professional practice and provide you with background knowledge and skills essential to the field of education. This wiki will be a large component of the course content. Through this site, you will access course materials, contribute to discussions and complete assignments. With this in mind communication will be essential in a variety of formats. If there are any problems, you will need to contact the instructor, Amanda Galbraith, (agalbraith@mca.edu) as soon as possible.
This course provides a survey of history, philosophy, and research in the field of art education and how these impact art education in the public forums of schools, museums, and community organizations. Professional dispositions will include recognizing that art exists in multiple contexts, advocating for the arts as a core subject, learning about professional arts organizations, collaboration, examining personal, assumptions, making connections between the past, present, and future of art education, and recognizing the impact of laws and legislation.

Learning Accommodations:
· Class participation · Wiki Contributions · Papers and presentations · Action Plan and Interview
If any student needs accommodations due to an identified need, please see the instructor to make necessary arrangements. Also note MCA requirements on page 5 of student handbook.
Attendance, Late Assignment, and Professionalism Policy engagement in activities cannot be duplicated. Absence from class negatively affects the professional atmosphere; thus, attendance and cooperative engagement will be necessary for successful completion of this course. In making a choice to not participate fully (absence, tardiness, not contributing to online portions of course, or lack of participation), you are making the decision to adversely affect your final course evaluation. Additionally, I expect professional and courteous participation in all course meetings, activities, and assignments. This includes but is not limited to, items outlined in the Memphis College of Art Handbook. Finally, turn off your electronic devices (cellphone, pagers, laptops) during class sessions unless being used for specific class activities.
· One class can be missed without deduction (no questions asked/no explanation necessary)
· Two tardies equals one absence
· Any absence beyond one will impact final grade in course
· All assignments are due on the dates noted in the syllabus whether the student attends class or not
· It is your responsibility to make arrangements to have assignments completed and turned in on time
Materials and Supplies: Students will need to furnish materials and supplies necessary to complete assignments
Required Text: There is no required text. Readings will be provided.
Inclement Weather Policy: You will be called and left a message from the schools automatic messaging system in cases of inclement weather.
EPA Standards: Materials and media utilized in classes must be used in compliance with the standards detailed in the “EPA Material Handling Protocols-September 2007”.
Class Policies on Academic Integrity: If upon investigation, it is found that you misrepresented yourself or your work for a course assignment, the guidelines established by the Memphis College of Art regarding cheating, and/or plagiarism will be followed. This could mean a failing grade for the assignment and may include a failing grade for the course. Refer to your student handbook for details. To avoid plagiarism, cite all sources of ideas, quotes, images, and information using APA guidelines.
